We can’t create more time, but we can do less, delegate, or ask for help.

Boundaries are expectations and needs that help you feel safe and comfortable in your relationships. Expectations in relationships help you stay mentally and emotionally well. Learning when to say no and when to say yes is also an essential part of feeling comfortable when interacting with others.

• You feel resentment toward people for asking for your help.

• You avoid phone calls and interactions with people you think might ask for something.

• You make comments about helping people and getting nothing in return.

• You frequently daydream about dropping everything and disappearing.

Reasons People Don’t Respect Your Boundaries

• You apologise for setting boundaries.

• You haven’t verbalised your boundaries (they’re all in your head).

• You assume that stating your boundaries once is enough.

• You assume that people will figure out what you want and need based on how you act when they violate a boundary.
